Mathiston is a town in Webster County, Mississippi, United States, located in the north-central region of the state near U.S. Route 82. Founded in the late 19th century and named after early settler Mathilda Mathis, the town has a population of about 700 and is a typical rural community in the American South.
Mathiston is located about 160 kilometers north of Jackson, the capital of Mississippi, and only 30 kilometers from Starkville (home of Mississippi State University). Surrounded by forests and farmland, it has a typical rural southern American landscape with a humid subtropical climate.
The local economy is based on agriculture and small retail businesses, and is surrounded by large tracts of cotton and soybean farmland. The town retains a quiet community atmosphere with basic public amenities including a post office, schools, and churches. A community festival held each fall is an important local cultural tradition.
Mathiston is close to the Tombigbee National Forest for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy hiking and fishing. The college town of Starkville is a 30-minute drive away to experience Mississippi State University's campus culture and sporting events.
